Spain has a dynamic and varied news file: an independence movement in Catalonia, anti-establishment forces that are rewriting the nation’s young democracy, and a private sector that is in the grip of M&A fever. It boasts three of the euro zone’s biggest banks, the world’s largest clothing retailer Inditex and telecom giant Telefonica.
Spain is also exposed to Brexit in unique ways: it is home to more British retirees than any other European country and claims sovereignty over the British territory of Gibraltar. Spain’s economy is on the rebound and tourism is running at record levels, but the nation has very high rates of inequality and youth unemployment which pose long-term threats to its stability.
